Investigation of risk factors for anterior knee pain following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: A case-control study
The progression of medial patellofemoral arthritis is identified as an independent risk factor for AKP following fixed-platform UKA. The development of this condition may be influenced by postoperative patellar tilt and trochlear groove angle. These findings underscore the necessity for optimal implant positioning and effective soft tissue management during UKA to mitigate postoperative complications.
